Wake up to the warm scent of salty air and watch a tranquil sunrise over the glistening sea dotted with untouched islands that rival Thailand's Koh Phi Phi. The exquisite sea views are best admired from your balcony with a cup of hot coffee in hand, or while walking along Tuba Beach Resort's private stretch of sand.
After a day exploring Tuba Island's 500-million-year-old rock formations, caves, beaches, and more, head back to the hotel for a relaxing swim in the beachfront pool. Take a fishing excursion with a local fisherman and bring your catch back to the hotel for restaurant staff to cook in local herbs and spices for your evening meal.
If you're looking to unplug from the external world and get back to nature, with a touch of modern comfort, of course, this is the place for you.
